🇺🇸 A Ponca City neighbor is answering a new call to service.
Please join us in congratulating LT. Justin K. Pickup on graduating from the U.S. Navy Officer Development School. Following additional training at Naval Chaplain School, he will report to Norfolk, Virginia, where he will serve aboard the USS Mitscher (DDG-57).
Before entering naval service, Justin faithfully served our community as a chaplain with Hospice of North Central Oklahoma and as pastor of Osage Heights Baptist Church.
We wish Justin, Sarah, and their family the very best as they begin this exciting new chapter. Thank you for your commitment to serving others, both here at home and across our nation.
